FC Bayern Discovers Unanticipated Trainer in New Report
No Alonso, no Nagelsmann, no Tuchel... yet Bayern might have discovered their next coach. Vincent Kompany, not long ago relegated from the Premier League alongside Burnley FC, appears to be the surprising replacement.
After months of searching for a coach, FC Bayern Munich's pursuit could be about to conclude. English newspaper 'The Guardian' reports that a deal is close and may be completed by the end of the week for Vincent Kompany, the potential new coach.
Discussions with Alan Pace, Burnley FC's owner, are believed to be far advanced. On Wednesday, they allegedly spoke about the transfer fee for relegated Premiership leader Kompany, who has been with Burnley since summer 2022. His connection to Bayern initially surfaced at the beginning of the week.
Though Kompany holds a humble sporting record, he garnered high praise for his management of Burnley. Despite 24 points from 38 games, they finished second-last, a measly 8 points from salvation. His journey into coaching started at RSC Anderlecht, where he twice led the struggling Belgian record champions to third place before joining Burnley following a two-year stint.
Bayern's Long Journey to Venezuelan Kompany
Bayern's extended hunt for a coach has captivated the public. Since Thomas Tuchel's departure and subsequent announcements by Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, and Oliver Glasner, the team experienced setbacks. Rumors of rehiring Tuchel also proved false. With sporting director Max Eberl on the verge of wrapping up this critical project, last season's title-less third-place team in Bundesliga should have ample time to incorporate Kompany's ideas into new signings.
